The Green Hornet leads the weekend by a substantial margin, with The Dilemma coming in second for the frame. Among the awards contenders, True Grit, The King’s Speech and Black Swan look to be keeping it a close race at the box office.

The awards contenders battle it out for box office over an odd New Years’ weekend, as the Coen Brothers knock it out of the box office park with a stellar take for their Western True Grit, while The Fighter and The King’s Speech remain solid and Black Swan takes a surprising dip. Meanwhile, Gulliver’s Travels bombs as spectacularly as anticipated.

Little Fockers leads the box office, but falls significantly below the last iteration of Focker. Meanwhile, True Grit gets off to a solid start for the Coens, giving the brothers their strongest 3-day opening ever, TRON: Legacy coasts along, and Narnia doesn’t get the Christian jump Fox asked for on Christmas.

As the weekend winds down, TRON: Legacy falls pretty much where anticipated, while Yogi Bear falls slightly under our pundits’ expectations, but still clings to second position. Meanwhile, awards hopefuls The Fighter and Black Swan expand nicely.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader winds up on top of the box office for the weekend, but with a considerably lower number than anticipated. Second-place The Tourist also falls a bit below expectations, while everyone else falls pretty much in line.

Tangled edges out Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the weekend top slot. Newcomer The Warriors Way gets off to a slow start, while Burlesque and Love and Other Drugs are neck-and-neck for third and fourth place.

It looks to be a much closer battle for the top of the box office than many of our pundits predicted, with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows coming in somewhat below some expectations, while Tangled draws in more dollars than anticipated.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part One falls just about where our Box Office Hell pundits predicted, effectively stupefying all competition for the top slot of the weekend. Meanwhile, Megamind stops Unstoppable from taking the second position.

Don’t try this at home, kids … the stuntboys of Jackass 3-D far exceed pundits’ box office expectations, if not critical ones, with a rousing estimate of 49.3 for the weekend, leaving the rest of the pack to duke it out over the leavings.
